INDUSTRIAL ROBOTICS FUNDAMENTALS POCKET MANUAL

Industrial robots are only one part of a working automated system. The rest is tooling, sensors, controllers, safeguards, networks, and the people who keep it all running. This manual explains the whole system, starting with the basics and building toward real implementation. It is written for readers with no previous robotics experience.
Inside you will learn

• How robot anatomy, axes, envelope degrees of freedom, and works determine what a robot can do
• How servo motion control, coordinate systems, and kinematics work, with the ideas explained before the math
• How to choose and set up end-of-arm tooling, including grippers, vacuum tools, and the tool center point
• How robots are taught, programmed, and tested, using manufacturer-neutral pseudocode
• How sensors, PLCs, industrial networks, and machine vision connect to the robot
• How to design, commission, and hand over a robotic work cell
• How to approach safety, risk assessment, and lockout/tagout in a disciplined way
• How to plan preventive maintenance and troubleshoot faults systematically
• How to improve cycle time and reliability, and how collaborative robots and connected manufacturing fit in

Built for practical use
Across 24 chapters, you will find 19 original diagrams and 23 reference tables. The book also includes worked examples, realistic scenarios, practice problems, and checklists. Back matter includes a glossary, a FAQ, and five appendices: a terminology quick reference, a commissioning checklist, a preventive maintenance checklist, a troubleshooting guide, and a beginner learning roadmap.
WHO'S THIS BOOK FOR;

• Technicians and industrial electricians moving into robotics
• Maintenance and production staff
• Engineering and automation students
• Automation Engineer
• Owners and managers of small and mid-sized manufacturers evaluating automation

The book teaches principles that carry across platforms and does not follow any one manufacturer's menus or language. Examples are illustrative only. Industrial robots are hazardous machinery, so this book supports but does not replace manufacturer documentation, site procedures, risk assessments, applicable regulations, or qualified professional guidance.

Whether you are starting out or tightening your understanding of a system you already work with, this manual gives you a clear, organized reference to build on.
